What is the current state of the law on exercise rights for a prisoner?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from McGowan v. United States, 825 F.3d 118 (2nd Cir. 2016):

3 McGowan also cites a case relating to a prisoner's free exercise rights. See Holland v. Goord , 758 F.3d 215, 22526 (2d Cir. 2014). That case was decided over a year after the conduct at issue in this case, and therefore is not relevant to the state of clearly established law at that time.
